Minoxidil Impurity 37 CAS 55034-35-0 chemical structure

Description

Minoxidil Impurity 37 (CAS 55034-35-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C4H6N4OHCl and a molecular weight of 162.58 g/mol.

Minoxidil Impurity 37 (C4H6N4OHCl) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
